Collectibles & Locations

Onimusha: Way of the Sword — All Collectible Locations

All 36 Lion Dogs, 23 Genma Notes and 7 Oni Armaments by region, plus pouches, charms and materials — every location and the trophy it unlocks. For quests see our side content guide.

How collecting works

Oni Power, Spirit Mirrors & the map

Most physical collectibles sit in chests you have to reveal with Oni Power — stand near the hidden spot and the chest appears. Spirit Mirrors (the fast-travel points) are the landmarks every location below is measured from, and Lion Dogs show as pawprint icons once you've liberated an area and beaten its boss.

Nothing is missable. You can clean everything up before the finale — after the credits, choose Continue to return to just before the final mission. Locations below are written from the in-game map landmarks; where a pixel-perfect spot needs a visual, we'll add our own capture — we don't lift screenshots from other sites.

Upgrades & materials

Pouches, charms & stones

These feed the enhancement trophies rather than a 'collect them all' — but knowing the totals helps you plan.

Hozuki Pouches — 9. Find and then max them all for Medical Marvel (max one for Health Is Wealth).

bronze trophyTrophy · Bronze
Health Is Wealth — Max out a single Hozuki Pouch (your healing item) with enhancement materials — one fully-upgraded pouch is enough.
silver trophyTrophy · Silver
Medical Marvel — Max out all 9 Hozuki Pouches. A big material grind — farm Oni/Power Stones and enemy drops, and finish it on your completion run.

Charms — 15. Max every charm for Charmed Life (max one for A Real Charmer).

silver trophyTrophy · Silver
Charmed Life — Max out all 15 Charms (passive accessories). Same material grind as the pouches — bank stones and enhance them all to the top.

Materials. The valley also hides 53 Power Stones, 54 Oni Stones, and 25 each of Fine Silk Cloths and Tamahagane — the currencies behind learning skills and enhancing gear. Hoover them up as you explore to fund Well-Rounded, Dressed to Kill and the rest.

silver trophyTrophy · Silver
Well-Rounded — Learn and upgrade every basic and special skill in the trees. Pour red souls into the full set — most comes naturally, farm the rest.
silver trophyTrophy · Silver
